Episode 191 - Reclaiming Yourself with Whitney Baker
In this episode, we explore the profound journey of women transitioning into motherhood and the challenges it brings to their sense of self, especially within their careers. We discuss the complex process of navigating identity shifts, the struggle to maintain professional aspirations, and the often unspoken sacrifices made.
Our guest shares her personal experience of losing and then rediscovering herself amidst the demands of motherhood and work. Through her story, we explore actionable steps and insights for women facing similar challenges, emphasizing the significance of self-care, setting boundaries, and seeking support.WHITNEY BAKER
Whitney Baker is the founder of Electric Ideas, a mission-based company dedicated to lighting women up with a new sense of possibility. Whitney is a certified meditation teacher, women’s group facilitator, retreat partner and writer. She also hosts the weekly Electric Ideas podcast, which is ranked globally among the top 3% listened to podcasts.
You may know Whitney as an upbeat, free-spirited force through her podcast or if you hang out with her on Instagram. But you may not know that in a former life, she was a journalist turned global marketing agency creative, who up-ended it all to stay at home with her kids. During that transition, she felt isolated and anxious that she was going to lose footing in the professional world and squander her hard-earned master’s degree. She struggled deeply to navigate this murky identity shift that no one seemed to be talking about.
Whitney knows what it’s like to leave behind one version of yourself for another and feel caught in between identities, wondering if you will ever really feel like yourself again. That’s why she’s so passionate about helping women ditch the rules of how they think they’re supposed to live and rewrite the rule book for the life they really want.RESOURCES
